Philippine Contemporary Art


A country's past history dictates its culture and tradition. This tradition is presented in its arts through music, dance, literature, architecture, fine arts, print, weaving, dress, cuisine, beliefs, folktales, stories, etc. What is called traditional is that which is passed down from generation to generation through practice, word of mouth, written text, rituals and performances.

The Philippine culture is distinct from its other neighbors in the Pacific and Southeast Asia. Not only has it been accessed through migrations and trade from the neighboring countries, but countries from the opposite side of the world like Spain and the US have come into the country, leaving their cultural mark on its inhabitants which in turn have passed them on to the present generation.

Philippine art today exhibits an amazingly dynamic relationship between discourses, forms, and styles. This is a unique point in the country's visual art history. Philippine art history is best seen as a succession of generations of artists. More informed in the aesthetics of cubism, surrealism, and expressionism, Filipino young artists expanded the concern of Philippine visual arts from style to a broader exploration of the formal elements of visual art.
In this generation of young artists, digital tools have now become an integral part of the process of making art.

Digital art is art created on a computer in digital form. It can be purely computer-generated or taken from another source, such as a scanned photograph, or an image using vector graphics software using mouse or graphic tablet. Digital artists may manipulate scanned drawings, paintings, collages or lithographs, as well as using any techniques in combination. The mainstream media uses a lot of digital art in advertisements, and computers are used extensively in film to produce special effects. In graphic design, the essence is to give order to information, form to ideas, expression and feeling to artifacts that document human experience. Fine art refers to arts that are concerned with beauty.

The infinite creative juices Filipino artists possess, coupled with various new technology to assist them in creating art, ensure interesting and dynamic work, such that they have found a home with international businesses and audiences.

Outsourcing designer services in the Philippines has become an attractive investment in recent years. Among the services offered in Philippine-based outsourcing companies are that of writers, graphic designers, programmers, media managers, quality assurance representatives, data entry clerks and contact center agents, among others. An increasing number of organizations worldwide have turned to offshore outsourcing, as one of the most powerful strategies to date, to significantly lower overhead costs without sacrificing quality and productivity levels.

The Philippines enjoys a competitive advantage in the offshore market, specifically because of the Filipino’s high level of English proficiency, strong customer orientation, highly developed telecommunications infrastructures, competitive cost structure and the country’s 95% literacy rate.

It got there through the sweat and blood of ancestors who tried to find a land which they could make into a paradise.
